Whoops, I was wrong.   Jorja Fox *is* leaving the show.    Snippet
from E! Online is below.   Too bad, but after 8 seasons playing the
same character, understandable that she'd want to move on.   Will be
the first time one of the major characters left the original CSI,
though it has happened much earlier with the spinoffs. (Rory Cochrane
left CSI: Miami in Season 3, and Vanessa Ferlito left CSI: NY in
Season 2)
Anyway, it seemed she was the most screwed over of the five major cast
members by TPTB;  when you see the covers of CSI DVD box sets and the
promos/advertisements, she's almost always the one way in the back.
Not exactly a morale-booster if you ask me.
Oh well, since the Sara character wasn't killed off, she can always
come back as a guest star if she wants to.   But for now, guess she'll
move on to another TV pilot, or perhaps attempt a movie career.
On a happier note, CSI's premiere beat out Grey's Anatomy's premiere
in the ratings, something it failed to do last year.   This time, the
old man beat the new kid on the block.   Dr. McDreamy who?  ;-)

CSI's Jorja Fox Is Leaving the Show
Categories: csi
She's outta there.
That's what I can tell you about Jorja Fox's status on CSI, the hit
series that bested Grey's in the ratings last night.
As I mentioned on E! News on Wednesday (which you can see in the video
clip below), reliable sources close to the show tell me Jorja will not
be a part of CSI as of the seventh episode of the current season. So,
do not let the fact that Sara Sidle survived last night's premiere
fool you. Jorja, who suffered a second round of contract-negotiation
difficulties (she was fired and rehired back in '04), will not be
sticking around on the show.
(By the by, my frienemy at TV Guide, Michael Ausiello, reported a
similar story this morning-citing November as Jorja's end date. So, if
his sources and my sources are sayin' the same thing, well...I think
we may be onto something!)
Now, my question for you fellow CSI fans is whether you see this as a
good thing or a stomach-churningly terrible thing for the show.
Personally, I'm going for the latter, because I love Sara and will
miss her dearly, but I also know some of you were deeply irked by the
Sara-Grissom romance. So, tell me what you think of Jorja's departure
in the Comments below!
